E-Tarteel : Visualizing Quranic Tajweed Rules

Abstract

Qur’an is the most important and priceless heritage for the Muslims. Since it is a very meaningful reference to the Muslims, the Muslims are urged to understand and practice the teachings of Qur’an. There have been a variety of Qur’an applications that have been developed to help Muslims to recite the Qur’an online. The purpose of this research is to develop the Qur’an tajweed self-learning application named E-Tarteel which is able to guide the new Qur’an learners who want to learn  reciting the Qur’an in a proper pronunciation in tajweed. E-Tarteel is a web application that uses the various types of tools and frameworks for developing the interactive e-learning tajweed where it is able to provide the self-learning for the student to learn tajweed by themselves. In E-Tarteel, the Tajweed categories that have been covered is the noon saakin rules, that is izhar halqi, ikhfa hakiki, idgham maal ghunnah, idgham bila ghunnah, and iqlab. This Tajweed engine works when the first Arabic character noon (ن) or tanween meets any character of Tajweed category and it will create the colored text of correct Tajweed. Hopefully the development of E-Tarteel will be able to be the new approach in assisting Muslim to understand and learn Tajweed during reciting Qur’an since the application can be accessed anywhere. Moreover, this E-Tarteel is suitable to be one of courseware for school teachers in assisting student to explore and learn Qur’an in interactive way.
